Serious about crime. I think not. This government does not believe in penalties. They were itching to repeal the laws on mandatory minimum for firearms and drugs. Remember the statement that was made by the Honorable Minister for National Security when they first came into power. Why not carry a firearm? The magistrate can decide depending on their mood whether to give a custodial sentence of a month or a fine of $100.00. Courage is sorely lacking in these times. They would have you to believe that mandatory minimum fetters the magistrates discretion and is unconstitutional. How come it's only unconstitutional here and is implemented all over the world. The problem is depending on who the defendant is, they would like the option to issue an unconditional discharge, which means despite being found guilty you leave the court without penalty or a criminal record. It's appalling.
